In this case, an assistant director handed the gun to Baldwin. I would expect that no one should hand a gun to an actor but the armorer and that armorer should open the gun and show the actor whether it is empty or loaded every time they are handed a gun, not laid on a table for anyone to pick up (see article below). Every gun should also be immediately retrieved and locked up following filming by that armorer. And in the case of blocking (setting up camera shots) no operational gun should ever be used, which is what happened in this case.
